Now I prepare this recipe for our four children and six grandchildren. -Helen McGeorge, Abbotsford, British Columbia

GWEN'S OLD-FASHIONED POTATO-BEEF CASSEROLE
Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a large saucepan with water to cover by 1 inch. Add a generous pinch of salt and cook for 15 minutes, or until tender. Potatoes cook quickly. Test often for tenderness and don't overcook them. Alternatively, cook the potatoes in a pressure cooker for 5 minutes, releasing the pressure immediately to prevent overcooking. Drain the potatoes and arrange them in a 6- by 9- by 2-inch casserole dish.
- In a large skillet, add a little oil to coat the pan. Combine the beef and onion and cook together over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion softened, about 10 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture bubbles and the flour turns light brown in color. Gradually whisk in the milk and continue to stir while cooking over medium heat. When the mixture thickens, season with salt and pepper, then stir in the cheese and browned beef and onions.
- Pour the ground beef mixture over the potatoes and bake the casserole for 20 minutes, until heated through and bubbling. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top of the casserole and bake until the crumbs are toasted, about 5 minutes longer.
BEST EVER BEEF AND POTATOES CASSEROLE
This is a ground beef casserole with potatoes I threw together one night and everyone loved it. Casseroles are usually so bland, but the Dubliner® cheese really gives this casserole a big punch of flavor.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality beef: Opt for lean ground beef or chuck roast for a flavorful and tender casserole.
- Don't overcook the beef: Cook the beef until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for medium-well doneness to maintain its juiciness.
- Use a flavorful cheese blend: Combine different types of cheese, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan, to create a rich and complex flavor profile.
- Make creamy mashed potatoes: Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for smooth and creamy mashed potatoes. Add butter, milk, and seasonings to enhance their flavor.
- Layer the casserole carefully: Start with a layer of beef, followed by a layer of mashed potatoes, and then a layer of cheese. Repeat the layers until you have used up all the ingredients.
- Bake until golden brown: Bake the casserole in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
